• Atmosphere‐ocean coupled processes in the Madden‐Julian oscillation (2015, background): “In the decade following the Zhang [2005], Hendon [2005], Kessler [2005], and Slingo et al. [2005] reviews, MJO research was bolstered by expanded or newly available global gridded data sets, such as the 0.25∘ resolution microwave measurements of tropical precipitation and SST from the Tropical Rainf”
• Assessing the oceanic control on the amplitude of sea surface cooling induced by tropical cyclones (2012, background): “Satellite observations accurately capture the ambient SST ahead of the storm but do not provide reliable estimates of inner-core SST due to intense rainfall [Wentz et al., 2000].”
• MJO Simulation Diagnostics (2009, methodology): “TMI SST uses microwave channels, which are less affected by cloud and aerosols (but significantly affected by raindrops; Wentz et al. 2000 ).”
• Warming of SST in the cool wake of a moving hurricane (2008, result): “The TMI-derived SST analysis largely eliminates the obscuring effects of cloud cover on infrared imagery [Wentz et al., 2000], but at the expense of some temporal and spatial resolution compared with GOES.”
• Air–sea interaction over ocean fronts and eddies (2008, background): “…global coverage of wind stress over the ocean every day, Liu et al., 2000), passive microwave instruments (which detect the SST through clouds, Wentz et al., 2000) and infrared radiometers (which have a high spatial resolution) led to the finding that the positive correlation is almost…”
• Local and remote atmospheric response to tropical instability waves: A global view from space (2001, neutral): “In addition , the co-orbiting Tropical Rain Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) provides tropical SST fields nearly free of contamination of clouds [Wentz et al., 2000; Chelton et al., 2000a].”
